Graphics drivers wireless networking ethernet products server products intel nuc chipsets processors memory and storage fabric products. Keep your system uptodate with this tool that analyzes the system drivers on your computer. Moving an area light with this option on will result in slower interactivity. Once we move the vertex position to the same space, the direction computation is straightforward.
This chapter will provide some details about the usage of opengl made by redsdk. In opengl, and most graphics systems, lights can be at a point in space or at infinity. We learned about phong shading, materials, lighting maps and different types of light casters. You can learn here how to use opengls lighting system for a more realistic scene.
It appears that you have a version of opengl, just not one new enough to run the application that you are looking for.

Nvidia continues to support opengl as well through technical papers and our large set of examples on our nvidia graphics sdk. There are three basic light sources in the simplest model directional light, point light and spotlight. The vertex shader now receives a light position instead of a light direction, and it must compute the lights direction for each vertex.
